CONT

Cellulose triacetate, generally known by the trade name Arnel, is a heat-treated form of acetate that has greater heat resistance than normal acetate, is faster drying, and can be permanently pleated by heat setting.

CONT

Cellulose Triacetate Films(CTA) are noted for the wide range and versatility of their chemical and physical properties which make them a preferred choice of material in a wide range of industrial applications. CTA must be processed into film in a solution, due to its very high softening temperature that cannot be significantly reduced by added plasticizers.
